So my ignorance is showing. :-/ Enlighten me?
Don't have the requisite 10 posts yet to post this in dev thread so I guess I have to put it here.
Just installed the Energy Rom released March 10th.
My Wifi isn't working. According to the Dev thread, this means I need a new kernel. Somebody in the thread thinks fondly of the faux kernel so I guess I am looking for that one. Could use a clue as to where to find it.
Aside from no Wifi, love the Energy Rom.
all you had to do was read The READ ME FIRST section. stickied on top, or do a simple search. it is un-necessary to create an entire new thread even here..
here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359951
Figured it out!
The thread where I found the kernels was called:
[Kernel]Amaze[2.6.35.13](v009)OC~1.73/JRCU/UV/CIFS+UTF-8/Power Saving[Mar-13]
You have to look carefully but there's a site for downloading them mentioned somewhere in the first 3 entries. 2nd one, I think.
Didn't work the first time. Error made me think /system might still be read only so I booted into my custom recovery and used "Fix Permissions". That seems to have done the trick!
Freaken HTC/T-Mobile. :-|
My Motorola Xoom wasn't anywhere near this difficult to get it unlocked, rooted and a custom ROM and kernel installed. Even was able to put ICS on it. ;-)

Thread closed since you posted it as figured out, pm me if you need it re-opened.
Im running ROM Unicornporn (dont ask) and cant connect via usb. Id post on the forum itself, but im a new user and dont have enough posts... So is anybody running it and know how to? Or is anyone willing to ask them, instead of me, since i cant post?
btw, the link the the page is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24626122#post24626122
thanks
I'm not new to rooting but I am new to the website. Couple of questions before I can really help. First the ROM you flashed is a cdma rom but is your phone cdma or GSM? Next question, what hboot are you on? Finally have you downloaded the adb and fastboot drivers to your PC? I'll see if I can help you out if you can get back to me
Did you fully wipe before flashing?
Also, it seems that rom is pretty much in the Alpha stage, meaning things won't work, which is normal.
Ok I think I found a solution to your problem. Go to the main post for your ROM on xda. There is a link near the top that says Check out the comprehensive FAQ by brainfire. Click that link and it will take you to a FAQs website for you ROM. It talks about your USB problem on there. Sorry I can't provide a link. I haven't posted enough yet but I would give it if I could. Hope this helps a bit.

OK so after reading and watching and reading some more I thought I could successfully root and then mod my i777 to ICS. Yeah, not so much.
I managed to get the device rooted using some help from GalaxyS2Root.com and using the 2.6.35.7_ZedomaxStockKernel. After that I thought I could install shostock2 however when the install started with CWM it goes for a moment and says "Installation aborted." I tried to do the same with cyanogenmod with the same result. Also wifi won't stay on, but have unrooted and everything goes back to normal.
I searched a great deal for this, but could find nothing. I would love a link to a thread if there is one. Do I need a different kernel? I feel like I followed the directions to a T. I really would like to have ICS and the super user ability, it if wasn't meant to be then that's fine. I can just unroot and wait for official ICS.
Thanks for your patience with my newbness. Any help you can give is greatly appreciated, and I am truly grateful that you guys are here for me to ask.
The links in the sticky at the top of this forum will help you out. Please read all of them carefully before making further modifications to your phone.
You should try to avoid using rooting methods that you don't find on XDA. Go here and grab the stock with root package, and use that to root. After that, download Mobile Odin and use it to install a kernel that includes CWM. Entropy's DD or Siyah will to the trick. After that you should be fine to flash stuff with CWM.
LOL
I still can't believe keep seeing people getting info from that site, GalaxyS2Root.
Stop using that site people.
Thanks!
You guys are great! Thanks for steering back in the right direction.

I got my root kit from that website and it worked out no problem whatsoever. But I do agree with u votinh. Everything u need for rooting and flashing ur phone will be here on xda. I was merely for lucky with having no problems... whew
Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA
Listen...... The best and only way to do right is to goto FAQ and how to root and flash without incromenting flash counter.

I'm thinking it has to do with this:
The sticky ATTENTION: AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II General Guide/Walkthrough/FAQ/hints and tips, that EVERYONE is supposed to read when they join XDA, instructs you to read this: How to Easily Root your device. Or watch the video walkthrough.
If you read the info and then decide you want to watch the vid to get another example by sight, something I believe most people would do... I know I did, you will be lead to a thread called ROM's, Kernels, Tools & "How to" I777 SGS2. In this thread the OP made multiple posts in order to separate the information while still giving you everything he believed you would need. In the second post he has a section called "<Tools>" under that it says "For all first timers" and under that it states "Excellent How To Video's".
The first video, credited to zedomax, sends you to the site GalaxyS2Root ...
Then you say that all the information can be found here at XDA ... Well, you are right, that information IS found here on XDA with an external link to "that site".
tl:dr
Not being a **** here just pointing out the reason people are using GalaxyS2Root. A thread started by Red5 (a highly respected member of XDA) includes a link to a thread made by another respcted member of XDA. At this point there is yet another link to another thread that includes the GS2Root link...
You follow the yellow brick road and it leads you to the wizard!
Personally I will only be putting Entropy or Entropy approved rom/kernel/etc. on my GS2 - His work helped me a ton with my old Tilt2.

And this is one of the reasons that shortly after moderator Red5 wrote the new sticky post with the consolodated information in it, I sent him a private message asking him to remove that video from the post, and to also update the OP of the "How to easily Root your device" thread by Jivy26 to include working download links. However, for whatever reason, he chose not to make the changes. I should have pressed the point with him, or our other moderator, but I just let it be.

Huh? I just went back and looked through all my PMs and I have no PM from you. However, I will fix whats needs to be corrected.
Edit: Video walkthrough link removed. As far as the links in the OP from Jivy, are those links not working? Are there other links that are that need to replace the ones in the OP?
Edit 2: Nevermind, I see in the last post you reference to your signature and there you have a post with two working links for rooted KH7 Odin3 packages. Ill replace Jivy's links with yours. Thanks. I also gave you credit in Jivy's post under #3.

@Red5
Thanks for updating both your post and Jivy's post. Here are a couple of suggestions on the links in the "how to easily root" OP:
The items 1 through 4 are the same as and were copied from items 2a through 2d in the Guide "How to Flash Custom Binaries Without Ever Incrementing the Flash counter!!" The links in the Guide are all working as far as I know.
First, the only exception to this is that I can not get any MultiUpload link to work. They just seem to display a blank page in the browser. I don't know if they ever work sometimes or not. This means Entropy512's original thread for the rooting packages, which is linked to in item 4 has unusable links. I just added an additional link in my guide in item 2d to direct people to the download repository for alternative links. "...or if you have difficulty with the links in his thread, there are alternative links for all his files in the Download Repository toward the bottom."
In item 2, you left the MultiUpload link, but you could change it to this one which is in the Guide - "Download "SuperOneClick v2.3.1 - Automatic Driver Installation" from DepositFiles (or look for links here) and extract it to a directory on your hard drive using WinZip or a similar program".
In item 3, you included links for both the unrooted and rooted packages, but this would be confusing to new users since it is a guide on how to easily root. I think you should remove the non-rooted link.

PLEASE help! the other issue i have is that the graphics have gone to crap. i mean aweful. if i flash another rom will that fix it or is there something else i need to do? thanks again.

Baseband version is the modem version. Has nothing to do with your firmware version and has no bearing on roms or warranty.

1. Such a post does not belong in the development section.
2. Never ask if someone can develop a rom for your own needs.
3. Are you kidding? There are already several WIFI only roms available.

Ok Thank you,
1, I assumed development section could bring ideas for development, i apologize for posting in the wrong section
2. I am sure that I am not the only person who would be in this situation; (I would also be willing to compensate the person if I were the only person, never asked for anything free)
3. The rom that I did find that seemed to be what I was looking for says file not found on the download site, Which is about what every file I try downloading here today says, I assumed by the dates on age of the View there might not be anything currently avaiable.

Which android version do you want to use?
If the download links do not work you have to report it within the respective thread.
I got what I need from xda member kevinrocksman. He helped me a lot.turns out a lot of the Roms on here are no longer supported. I am now on stock HC Rom with jmz kernal overcloked to 1800. And it works great.
I guess what I was looking for was a stock GB sence Rom that allowed the pen to work on everything. And remove everything from sprint. But I found that putting it in airplane mode does the same. I did compensate the member who helped me. Wasn't looking for a free handout.
Ok I am new to XDA. I tried to post my question in Almost All Huawei Stock Roms (Firmware) - Updated 28/06/12
This is the only place I have found that might have what I need. But of course the one place I need to post in..... I cant.. for some reason I need ten posts to be able to do this.
I dont want to post a bunch of useless posts just to be able to post in one forum.
I am not an expert at this but nor am I a complete noob, so I will cast my line out here and hope I get a bite.
I am looking for the stock rom for the Huawei ascend II M865c from straight talk (Sprint ver)
So if anyone could help out that would be great.
Thank you .
Or perhaps mods could see fit to allow me the privelage to post in the thread I need to post in.
nothing?
So , nothing?
Guess I am left with no choice except to make a few more posts.
